1. when I started my WAVES node I saw this output:
- INFO [main] c.w.Application$ - Starting...

2. how I fixed it?
- by deleting the state.dat file and waiting for the "repair" by waves itself
- for the 765456 blocks it took about 17h
How it came to this?
3. scrolling upwards in the LOG file I saw this output in step 1. :
- INFO [nator-handler-1] c.w.s.BlockchainUpdaterImpl - Rollback to h=765672 started, total blocks: 765673, persisted: 765456, topMemDiff: 107, bottomMemDiff: 110

- can't fork: Cannot allocate memory
4. and later on also these:
- INFO [shutdownHook1] c.w.Application$$anon$1 - Stopping network services
- ERROR [xt-global-74168] s.utils.LogMVMapBuilder - MVStore put error
- java.lang.IllegalStateException: This map is closed [1.4.196/4]
The "can't fork: Cannot allocate memory" probably means my RAM was not sufficient anymore? And waves had then trouble executing its normal shutdown tasks?
- since using WAVES: I see on my system that my RAM gets filled slowly (about 40%), also when I exit WAVES this consumption (40%) stays...
- when WAVES is running it takes about 25%, so I have 35% free... I will observe this more.
The message from step1 looks like this 7-weeks-old bug report, I have added more details there
and hope someday waves can "heal itself" without user intervention in such cases.
